EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Popularity Rank: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

Trojan.Nanocore is a dangerous threat that leverages remote access tool/remote administration tool (RAT) functions to attack a vulnerable computer. The Nanocore threat is usually identified as sneaky malware that may load on a computer where it runs in the background undetected. Such an action is a common characteristic of Trojan horse threats, and its ability to connect to remote sources or hackers is the RAT side of its source code.
Nanocore may load on a computer and then seek out data stored on the infected computer’s hard drive where it may transmit or allow a remote attacker to access the data. Such actions may take place all without any indication to the computer user, which makes Nanocore extremely dangerous.
In most cases, Nanocore will spread primarily through spam campaigns leveraging spam email attachments that otherwise look like harmless files in the for of either PDFs, MS office documents, photo files, or even executable files. Unsuspecting computer users may receive a spam message containing Nanocore that appears to be an enticing email from an alleged trusted source.
When loaded, Nanocore may hide under an unsuspecting file running within the Windows operating system. Simply stopping the process of the Nanocore file and deleting it may not completely eliminate the Nanocore threat from an infected system.
Those who may suspect their system encountering Nanocore will want to promptly utilize an antimalware resource to safely identify the Nanocore threat and allow it to be automatically removed from the infected system. Prompt removal of Nanocore will help ensure that personal data is not stolen and exploited, which can lead to many other issues, such as Identity theft.

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- Trojan.Downloader.Gen.M
